GERMANS AGREE
TG ALLIED TERMS
Mercantile Fleet to Be Taken
Over by Allies?Provis;;
ion For Food.
Brussels.?The German delegates
to the conference regarding the taking
over by the allies of the German
mercantile fleet and the provisioning
of Germany, today definitely accepted
the conditions imposed by the
aPies. i
A board of control for exports will
be established under the terms of the '
agreement. This board probably
vill board his headquarters at Rot
t? rdam.
The Germans will bo permitted to
buy fish from Norway and resume
their own fishing in the North sea.
'The German representatives asked
for a modification of the blockade,
and while no promises were given
them in this connection, steps in that
direction as a matter of fact have
already been taken.
The German representatives sat on
one side of a long table while on the
other side were an equal number of
allied representatives. There were
no greetings, salutations or amenities
of any sort. The whole proceedings
were marked by impersonal
rigidity. The chairman of the German
delegation stared at a spot on
tne table and addressed his remarks
to no one in particular. Vice Admiral
Sir Rossiyn Wcmyss of Great
Britain, chairman of the allied delegation,
began by muling a statement
prepared for him by the civilian
members, mlline* on the Germans
to say categorically whether they
abided by the terms of the armistice.
Under-Secretary of State von Bruun
replie<l curtly: "Yes."
, Admiral Wcymss then read one
page of typewritten memorandum
giving in crisp sentences the terms
of the allies for granting food to
Germany-?the German merchant
fleet to be handed over at once, financial
provisions to be made at
or.ee, food to be delivered at once and
to be continued until the next harvest,
or as long as Germany abided
by the terms of the agreement.
As the statement was read it was
translated into German ami French,
the German replies receiving the
same treatment. The air of impersonality
was preserved throughout.
It was then settled that the details
of the ration of 870,000 tons of food
monthly with the shipping and financial
plans should be elaborated
in subcommittees and the first plenary
session adjourned, having lasted
only a few minutes.
In this meeting there were no appeals
or references to humanity and
civilization or to women and children,
the only statement in this connection
being that infant mortality
had doubled in the last three months,
and this was simply mentioned as a
cold declaration of fact in connection
with the request of the Germans
for more condensed milk.
The German delegates were anxious
to enlarge the proposed monthly
imports of certain commodities
only to he met with the statement:
"I regixd that the world's shipping
does not make this possible."
Reference on some points was reserved
by the Germans for discussion
with the government at Berlin.

V * AVOID COTTON WILT.
I
. Clemson College, S. C.?Cotton
wilt, otherwise known as blight and
black root, is a widespread disease
in the Coastal Plain of South Carolina,
and where proper preventative
measures are not taken is causing
erormoux loss every year, says Director
H. W. Barre of the South Carolina
Experiment Station.
Where the disease is present in
isolated areas on the farm, precautions
should be taken to prevent its
spread. The fungus which causes
vilt is carried from one place to another
by plows and other implements,
by surface water, or by any
agency which carries soil particles
from the infected area to other parts
of the farm.
If farms are already infected with
-4K:~ .1,^ TA : ,.,:w

from farmers who are breeding this
variety in cooperation with Clemson

OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH
CAROLINA PEOPLE
The board of trustees of the University
of South Carolina held a
special meeting March 18 to distribute
funds recently appropriated by
the general assembly for the maintenance
of the institution and for
repairs on the old dormitories.
The Lutheran Church Visitor, official
organ of the United Synod of
the Lutheran Church in the South,
published in Columbia since 1901,
will be discontinued after May 1.
Florence County will have as a
memorial for the boys who gave
their lives for the cause in France a
splendid public library.
"When are they coming home?" is
the question that is agitating the
public South Carolina mind at pros-,
enl, the "they" invariably referring
to the boys of the Thirtieth Division.
There.is little doubt that practical
ly every unit ol tne l lurtietn division

at Charleston.
TO FIND WORK FOR
THE SOLDIER LADS
Washington.?An emergency committee
on employment for soldiers
and sailors was organized here hy
the Council of National Defense,
with the approval of the War and
I.abor departments. The purpose is
to meet the situation created by the
radical curtailment of the machinery
of the federal employment service,
made necessary by the failure of
Congress to provide funds for the
remainder of this fiscal year.
Support will be furnished by the
committee to the 2,000 branch bureaus
for returning soldiers and sailors,
now maintained by the war welfare
organizations and local communities,
and in addition efforts will
be made to establish such bureaus in
additional cities and towns through
financial aid. Cooperation of local
interests also is expected to insure
continuance of many of the 700
agencies of the federal employment
sc ivice ordered abandoned March 22.
Woods Made Chairman.
Arthur Woods, special assistant to
the Secretary of War, in charge ol
employment of discharged soldiers,
was appointed chairman of the emergency
committee.
Wherever possible the committee i
will supplement the work of the remaining
organization of the employment
service, which will retain offi
cos in only fifty-six important indus- 1
trial centers.
Telegrams were sent today by the
Council of National Defense to all
Governors and the mayors of prin (
c:pal cities and chairmen of the'
State councils of national defense j
a .-king their cooperation.
A campaign for the stimulation of
industry, as a means of solving the
unemployment problem, will be conducted,
and employers will be urged
to use the available bureaus for list
iug their needs. Members of the com
miDee believed the work of finding
employment for 100,000 persons a
week, which has been in the hands of
the employment service, can be con- '
tinued without interruption.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Aynor was again saddened on last
Sunday night, February "2nd, inst.,
when Mrs. Lottie Graham, wife of
Mr. E. M. Graham, a prosperous
merchant and automobile agent of
ou? town, departed this life. She
was indeed loved bv everyone who
knew her, and was a consistent member
of Aynor Baptist Church. She
seemed to love everybody and feel
an interest in their welfare and happiness.
We must not say she is
dead, for death only touched her
eyes, and she sleepeth until that time
when Christ shall come to make up
his jewels. The remains were laid
to rest in Aynor Cemetery. Funeral
service was conducted by her pastor,
and well he remembers only a few
months ago when he arrived at Aynor
to take up the work of the Baptist
people here, she invited him to
her home with his family and made
the day very pleasant for him and
his. And when he began to housekeep
she loaned him part of the
things he used in his home, until
his household goods arrived some
weeks later, and I say again she lovn.

brighter and pleasant. She was
conscious to the very last telling
loved ones good bye and telling them
not to worry for she had nothing to
fear, that Jesus was her Savior. She
was another victim of that terrible
disease, Influenza and tho the best
of medical skill was rendered by
Dr.'s King and Dusenbury and the
nurses, they could not keep her
alive, and she went to that Jesus
whom she loved and we can only bow
our heads and say as Job, "Jehovah
givcth, and Jehovah taketh away,
blessed be the name of Jehovah."
She leaves to breavc her, her husband,
two small boys, her mother,
two orotners and throe sisters. She,
before her marriage, was Miss Lottie
Shelly, of the lower part of Horry
County. Her many friends extend
their heart-felt sympathies to her
bereaved loved ones, and Aynor
Baptist church will greatly feel her
less.
